About
This is the first year this competition is being held and is designed to replicate the Canterbury Programming Competition that takes place in Term Two. It's open to anyone with an interest in programming from year 9 to 13. Students compete in teams of 3 although occasionally teams of one or two are allowed, but three brains are better!
During the competition you'll try to answer a series of increasingly difficult problems, each worth points depending on their difficulty. The team with the most points (and least penalties) wins!
Recommended languages are Python or C++. Others are available of request but must be Console I/O friendly.

Several previous competitions are hosted on the University of Canterbury's free course Prog4Fun. Sign up to the "Programming Contest Problem Archive" course and have a go to see what the last competitions were like.
CodeWOF is also a great place to test your programming skills and learn along the way.
